Ford Crew cabs w/7.3 Diesel
#521
ya, that's the great thing about a diesel; your mileage doesn't change with a load, unless it's super heavy and 550lbs is nothing. I think bigger tires =better mileage cuz you go further with each revolution. it's like being higher geared. I got 5 kilometers per litre, going 75-85 mph, thru 2-3 mtn ranges last week. that's about 12mpg. bear in mind I'm full size, dually, 4:10 gears.
what's with the sled, planning a trip to the great white north? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] or do you guys sled in the snow that gets dumped by the Zamboni outside the local ice rink? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] LOL, I forgot to tell PP, we get 1 day of snow per year that lasts about 2 days. we're about the only spot in Canada that can say that (and Vancouver Island, and the rest of our we(s)t coast. anything inland or in elevation gets snow. my buddy in Terrace, BC used to shovel from his roof and have to pitch UPHILL!! In Stewart, BC (right next to Hyder, Alaska), they get more snow than that.
i'm off to yamaha forum to see if someone can finally answer a couple of relatively easy Q's about the Breeze.

I decided to do a little research[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] to put to rest or bring more attention to Don "Confused" Juan[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]. So much posting has been made about his ability or inability to attract females. After you read the following post, I think you will find out, that fortunately for Don Juan, the Canadian Lover(self proclaimed)[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]that he is already married[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
So, I think it is safe to say, the PM's he received, were not love letters[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img]but, probably "drop dead letters"[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
hey, are you sure you aren't the same person as mudisntjustforboys? But in that post you had a 2003 Powerstroke with a 6" lift, now it's a 2002 with a 3" lift. And you had a 26' enclosed trailer, but now it's 40'.....amazing what happens if you keep adding water to them things!!Is your's a dually? If you own all those toys, sleds, race cars,quads, trailers, then i think you should change your name to everymansdreamgirl, or, 2good2Btru!!
we need way more women like you! Oh, and if you are the same person, I meant to comment on your previous signature.. "always wear clean underwear because you never know when they'll be cut off by the paramedics"..
Now I wear 'em clean just cuz it's the sanitary thing to do, but the way i see it, if the paramedics are cutting them off of me, there's an excellent chance I'll have just filled them.

actually, my wife looked at the first post/pics, and told me about it. I was convinced that this is every man's perfect lady!! I saw the second post... I sure hope you're the real thing otherwise you just shattered our dreams!
Wed June 23, 2004 8:52 PM
if it is some old guy, what a shame, cuz the lady on that quad looks stunning, and just when I thought no-such dream woman existed, someone has to destroy it!! I dunno tho, there's a profile with a name.... Naw, I'll keep dreaming, they can't take away my dreams!

Well I just took the PSD on its first real long trip by itself. Last spring i took it to utah to pick up a new snowmobile trailer and got 15-16mpg going out there empty.Well today I went up to Bend Oregon and back(8 hours each way) around 970 miles round trip. Towing nothing, but had a snowmobile on the way back from bend(reason i was going there, bought a snowmobile) On the way up empty i got around 17-18mpg going 65-80mph depending on the road, etc. On the way home i got 18-19mpg and going about 65-75mph.I was amazed at the mileage, keep in mind this is hand calculated and the truck has a 4" lift w/ 35" tires which makes me lose some mileage.I filled up in La Pine Oregon and made it all the way home on 25 gallons(460 miles or so). I have a short bed so it has the small 29 gallon tank, at first i thought my guage must be messed up but it wasnt. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]Another thing weird was i got better mileage coming home w/ a 550 pound snowmobile in the back. Keep in mind i still had the campershell on the truck and left the tailgate down/ campershell window open. The truck weighs 8000lbs w/ me in it so i am happy w/ the mileage i got. I am by no means easy on the gas and whenever i had to pass someone i got on it.Sean

once again you slithered in while i was posting something serious, useful and creative, which makes my last post outta place.
Lt. Dan, don't you have a shrimp boat you should be working on , or a box of Mama's chocolates you should be quaffing? and your point would be....??? I was merely trying to compliment the ladies while Mr. Misogeny was scaring them away. Undoubtedly my kind and complimentary words kept them around a few posts longer until PP scared them away. At least I was being friendly and courteous while you guys kept trying to bore the ladies with PSD chat.
DQ, I guess you get to be the new dream girl until PP chases you away with his vulgarity. I'm much kinder and gentler than these other neanderthals. they're knuckledraggers, whereas i'm the original canucklehead.

Jetsnow, You are getting about the same mileage as mine[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] I love it. They say your best mileage comes when you hit around 80,000 miles. For me, that's right around the corner, I am just shy of 70,000 right now. My neighbor found a place in southern ca. that has a 55 gallon tank for the s/b's. Cost around $700. Thinking about someday getting one. I know when I haul my trailer with the quads, I'm still getting 15-16 mpg at about 68 mph. I have gotten as good as 22 mpg on a trip home from Paso Robles. I am a firm believer too, that your mileage is effected by whom you buy your fuel from because of different blends.
Confused, you still having the same problems with the breeze? or is it something different? Sounds like it's time to take it to a real mechanic[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]Are there such things, in the great whte north[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

A shrimp boat, No, OSHA won't allow it, I don't have my legs anymore[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]So, out at sea, they can't make me walk the plank[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]Thank goodness for the Disability laws.
And I do agree with you, you are the original canucklehead[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

antonio, this is the best detective work you've done since earning top donut quaffing honors (with sprinkles), and it must have taken you hours to compose it. If only you could put that kind of passion and effort into your day to day work, you'd be Col. Klink by now!... And for what... to expose a deprived man's fantasies?? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] for the record, you chose NOT to share a key fact with the defense (but then withholding material evidence that would exonerate someone is the first thing taught in police/detective training 101). Specifically, I practically repeated the berating I got in the PM, verbatim. And let's not overlook it shoulda been PP's PP getting whacked there, not mine. So, there's a fine piece of defense work, provided by me, Dick Magnet, PI. And be careful, I sense a new name coming, cuz no one is using Antonio. think of how much ww likes PP!!

I just spent an hour reading old posts for 'breeze' in the Yamaha forum, all the way back to '99. I only have a couple of minor Q's. hope someone finally helps me there... but so far no where near the luck I get on the kid's quads forum (you know, the place where PP tries to find his next victim, I mean GF). Hey, that's where he lured DQ from, with the promise of great adventure. DQ also stands for dairy queen, so there may be a new handle coming your way too DQ. I'd share a couple now, but they'd get censored.

Good morning ya'll. I'm happy to see that someone is getting good fuel mileage, cuz I'm NOT!!!!! I get about 15 towing nada, zero, zilch, nothin', and 11 towing my train (WTH)? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img] Of course, it's my daily driver and I have a 1000 ft climb to work each day (Park City).
I'm jealous.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img] I wish I could go buy a sled.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] But noooooooooooooooooooooo, I have to be poor / in debt up to my eyeballs (the American way).[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
Hey, I see that Lt. Dan officially gave DQ (Dairy Queen) the Forda Beta Kappa seal of approval.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] Or did Canucklhead already scare her away?
I posted a few new pics. Hopefully they will get approved soon.
Enjoy!

pp, the little white bum shot is HILARIOUS. talk about confusing the poor little guy... on one hand you chastize him for doing the act, and then you encourage and exploit it for your own selfish photo op. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] If I was him, I'd be so confused (well, i guess i'm always confused), that I'd wait 'till you were sleeping and give you a golden shower of your own. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]
thrasher, that's the Bob and Doug MacKenzie way of putting out the fire.
pp, is that the mantle/tile work you did? good job. thanks for grinding my face in it by continually posting sexy pics of the wife.I think you're trying to get DQ to post something more provocative. and i'll stop talking to DQ is that'll make her come back. ooohhhh, those pictures..., I gotta go fix the trailer.
